  4. He can’t crack China so he’s finding some other target to crack. As long as the EU doesn’t bulge under pressure he’ll back off.

  5. China talks will probably receive similar results. I don’t see how America can survive waging a trade war with both EU and China again.

  6. Ok, then let’s tax ad revenue of big tech with 50% as well.

    Edit: Also, go European! r/buyfromEU

  7. He needs to crash the market again for his cronies to make another round of quick money .

  9. Discussions like forcing their “food” exports which would be illegal to consume in Europe?

  12. It’s like he *wants* EU to use the Anti Coercion act against the US. 

    careful. Might become permanent policy

  14. Fuck this orangutan

    join r/BuyFromEU and tarrif USA yourself

  15. * 0% tariffs on Russia
    * 50% tariffs on EU

    Enough said about his loyalty.

  16. The best way to make Trump back off would be to go through with imposing tariffs on US services. Specifically the tech industry.

  17. And the market aims for the toilet again….

    The other day, the news was that Greece was now paying lower interest on long term debt than the USA. Give it a few more years of Trump and Zimbabwe may have a word….

  18. So get ready to pump and dump some more stocks?

    …..I understand now

  19. This again?? What a loser, he’s gonna fold faster than superman on laundry day

  21. fuck this guy.

    Literally the only reaction one can have.

  22. This is why I was critical of efforts at good faith negotiations, as opposed to the Chinese approach of hardballing them. It was always going to come along in a matter of days, weeks, or at a big stretch, months.

    Now watch those in his inner circle ‘buy the dip’ again, since it’s largely about market manipulation right out in the open while his cultists clap like seals. 

  25. The post on Truth social seems to be another highlight of US presidents. He got the numbers wrong and claimed the trade deficit is 250‘000‘000 a year.

    What a twat.

  26. Ah great. I was wondering what was causing my stocks to crash 3% instantly. This fucking moron.

  28. And there where people in this sub saying that the EU and US could put tarrifs on China to make it stop supporting Russia. The idea that one can still work together with the US is ridiculous.

  29. Feels like I should care, but I can’t stress enough how much I don’t. There is a limit on how much each motion can build up before not registering anymore, and regarding whichever emotion this shite triggers, I have long reached saturation.

  31. Time to put 50% on US IT-services from the 1st of june. Fuck that !
